Testimonials
"Sandra Steiner was a recent guest on my podcast MindBody Matters to discuss her book and her work as a speaker. In addition to providing a great interview, I was impressed how through unwavering courage and resilience she has come so far in her life. It's not often I see someone like Sandra who can take such adversities and use them to help others. I booked her to come back on my show.
